We remember and loved these songs so much because they were usually from our very early teen years. Those very special years and back then the
songs actually told stories and had words we could understand.
This song was written by Johnny about the sadness he felt when his grandfather died. It sure made a wonderful expression of a long love. It was also recorded by Elvis Presley
I can track my whole life through songs that were popular when I was dating or when my first child was born and later. I think the memories are more intense than the actual feelings were at the time. I know I wasn't all that happy during any of these times, yet the memory is so bittersweet that I'm tempted to create in my mind a sweeter time than it was. Anyone else feel like that? Maybe now is the best time and we will realize it in 10 years!!
my wife and I used to listened to this song.. I could still imagine the happy memories we have listening to this song.. this April 27 would be one year since her demised, and it still hurts.. sometimes I don't' think I can go on w/ my life.. I admit I'm too much of sentimental person but who would be if what you've lost was a loving partner, always supportive and understanding, and yes, thru thick and thin always on my side... Bit, wherever you are, I just want you to know that I love you.. love you so much..RIP my love..
